I’m glad I spent this past summer working at an RV dealer (in Wyoming) – it taught me to EXPECT equipment failures in my 5th wheel (as if I didn’t already KNOW it from 3+ years on the road!) As I watched the parade of travel trailers, fifth wheels, and motorhomes pass through our service … Read more
RV Repair in Helena Montana – and – testing out my new Extended Warranty (Extended Service Contract) Its Monday morning (10/12/15) and I awoke early to make a scheduled appointment for a needed repair to my fifth wheel.

RV Solar power can be a worthy goal, but there are pitfalls. If you read Tom Dansby’s excellent article on the … Read more
In Search of… The PERFECT Campsite Good to catch up with you again! So much has happened since I left Casper, Wyoming on September 8 after a very successful summer selling (and learning more about) RV’s. In fact it went so well, I’m now heading a new initiative with Stalkups – an Internet Sales division! … Read more

Two weeks in and the shiny new RV’s are lined up across the street from my office – all begging for owners to hitch them to their vehicles and take them to all kinds of neat places.

Travel across Wyoming can be an experience at virtually any time of the year, but to consider beginning the “RV travel season” in the 3rd week of March is a decision anyone would be right to question! I left Steamboat on March 22. My last day “on snow” was March 21, and given … Read more
Change… To me, that is the true nature of the RV Lifestyle Living in an RV allows you to decide where to live and how long you wish to live there. You get to choose between the best beaches and waterfront resorts our nation has to offer and the majestic mountains, national parks, and (for … Read more
I love the RV Lifestyle! And, I’d bet that many of my “RV Colleagues” do as well. Now-a-days RV’ers come from a wide range of lifestyles – yes, certainly there are lots of retirees who wish NOT to be “put out to pasture” next to the shuffleboard courts in a Palm Beach County planned community. … Read more
